Saturday August 25 DANCE DAY

Hello all, this is Amy once again. Today was really hectic. I began my morning by getting up at 5:45am. I had breakfast at 7:00 and was to the rabbit/poultry barn by 7:30. Three other ambassadors, Tim, Nick, Jennifer and I, were scheduled to help at the rabbit show and do whatever they needed us to do to help them out. Jennifer and I helped check kids in for the rabbit show. I learned soooo much more about rabbits and the different breeds.
Jennifer and I got done earlyand the staff no longer needed our help so we came back to the 4-H building. I was scheduled as a floater and they needed help at the Fitness Challenge. There were 7 different activities that you could challenge yourself in. Some were; stair stepping, the verticle jump and jump roping.
I watched the Arts In preformance once again and as usual it was amazing and very popular in drawing in the public. The caveman theme is very creative with the choice of songs they use. The songs are phenomanal and they really seem to make everyones day a little brighter. Everyone is welcome to come to the preformances and they are all free.
Dinner was amazing as always. Thanks to our amazing Caf Staff. Every day there is something new or a different twist on something. Everyone enjoys and appreciates what they do for us. They keep us going and going and going.
I've been blogging and enjoying doing it. We have had many other kids blog. Tomorrow I plan to have an Arts In participant come in and blog. I hope everyone has been enjoying the blogs. By the way thanks for reading.
Yesterday I was on duty with Jennifer again greeting people at the front doors and answering questions at the 4-H information booth. You would be amazed with the questions somepeople comeup with. If you have any leave a comment and we will do our best to give an answer. By the way the 4 "H's" stand for; head, heart, hands and health.
At 8:30 we had our first 4-H dance of the state fair 2007. It was sooo packed. You can't imagine how hot and sweaty we get, but either way it is really fun. One of my biggest highlights. We have 4 more dances to go. Tomorrow night there is one and from there it's every other night. Our legs get the biggest work out these 2 weeks. From walking 80 stairs up to the dorms and 80 back down and constant movement at the dances you lose the pounds. Whew. After the dance we cleaned up,went back to the 4-H building, had refelection time and went to bed. It was one of the most packed yet interesting days I have ever encountered. It was an amazing amount of fun...Oh yah, this is 4-H, of course it is fun.
Yours in GREEN,
Amy McConnell
